What our customers say
Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly is included in your cloud services?
Our cloud services cover secure cloud desktops, cloud storage, identity management, device management, backup, disaster recovery, and ongoing support. We design, deploy and manage everything end‑to‑end so your team can work securely from anywhere.
Will cloud services disrupt our day‑to‑day operations?
No — we plan migrations around your schedule, often outside business hours. Most clients experience zero downtime because we stage and test everything before switching over.
Can you support hybrid working?
Yes. We specialise in secure hybrid setups, including cloud desktops, Teams, SharePoint, mobile device management, and identity‑based access controls.
How do you keep our data secure in the cloud?
We use a security‑first architecture: MFA, conditional access, encryption, zero‑trust policies, secure backups, and continuous monitoring. Your cloud environment is built to meet modern compliance and security standards.
Do we need to replace our existing hardware?
Not necessarily. Many businesses keep their current devices and simply move workloads to the cloud. We’ll assess your setup and advise only where upgrades genuinely add value.
How long does a cloud migration take?
Most small and mid‑sized businesses complete migration within 2–6 weeks, depending on data volume, number of users, and complexity. We give you a clear timeline upfront.
Is cloud more cost‑effective than on‑premise?
In most cases, yes. You reduce hardware spend, maintenance, licensing complexity, and downtime. We provide a cost comparison so you can see the difference clearly.
Can you work with our existing IT provider?
Absolutely. We often collaborate with internal IT teams or external providers to deliver cloud services while they continue handling day‑to‑day support.
What size businesses do you work with?
We primarily support small and growing businesses (10–200 users) across Surrey, Sussex, Kent and the South East.
What happens after migration?
You get ongoing monitoring, security updates, support, optimisation, and regular reviews. Cloud isn’t a one‑off project — we manage it continuously.
